Re: Comeback Player of the Year favorite
We shall see; as I referenced during the draft, Vernon Davis was taken by Frisco at slot no. 6 in the first round and was suppose to revolutionize the game...
He had a decent career, one season he was named second team All-Pro, only two Pro-Bowls; won a Superbowl Ring with DEN where he had no receptions... That's a bust for that high a pick. Now Pitts has that same athletic advantage, but this is the NFL, where linemen run a 4.6; Reggie Bush wasn't as special in the NFL... So the A-T-L took the risk, and I've never turned down some good schadenfreude; but we've got the personnel to check him... |
It's not that my way is the right way, I just make the right way my way...

Re: Comeback Player of the Year favorite
^^^ No hate on Falcons draft pick Pitts, however I see him as Vernon Davis 2.0. Has all the measurables, physical traits & tools you can ask for but will it translate at the next level ? … risky but we shall see. Superstardom is no guarantee.
For what it's worth, Kittle and Kelce' were mid rounders and arguably the best in the league at TE. |

Re: Comeback Player of the Year favorite
Joe Burrow is a good candidate from that list.
He was playing extremely well before the season ending injury. Still kind of surprised they went with Chase with their 1st overall pick in the draft this year. |

Is he burning up Grambeaux's cell phone for pointers?

Re: Comeback Player of the Year favorite
Blind hog finds an acorn. 2/3rds of the other players drafted in the rounds with them are selling insurance. Talent can be found throughout the draft, however, the chances of getting lucky enough to come across it diminishes continuously as the picks grow later.
By the way, Kelce was taken with the 63rd overall pick of the draft, the first pick of the 3rd round. There were only 30 2nd round picks in 2013. That really doesn't qualify as a midround pick. |
